Juicing is working for me

I think people leave negative comments because they don't have the will power to do it themselves. Who wouldn't want to feel healthy & lose weight quickly. Good for you.

Yeah, that's it. Forgot to mention we're jealous of liquid poop and depleted lean mass. I'd rather "be" healthy than "feel" healthy and I'd rather have lost weight in a slow and sustainable manner rather than a quick fix. Will the juicebots maintain this diet for the rest of their lives? I highly doubt it.

omg really? you only joined site so maybe use search feature and do some research!!

people have negative feedback because it is not considered to be a lifestyle change which is needed for LONG TERM success.

Juicing has advantages just as much as disadvantages.

Meh, I like to eat my foods. Others like to drink them. I could never figure out how to make juiced chicken and potatoes taste good, though .

Seriously, though, as long as you're hitting your macros, reaching your calorie goals, and meeting your micro-nutritional needs, that's great.:drinker:

I'm not going to lie but i will say that juice fast is not the best way to lose weight fast but its excellent when it comes to curing man made DISEASES

Juicing just seems extreme and unsustainable in the long term.

I like knowing when I sneeze I'm not going to have a pantastrophe. Willpower has nothing to do with it.

Because i have no intention of drinking just juice for the rest of my life. also fiber. and well...I like to sink my teeth into a hamburger every once in a while.

The way I eat and excersize now is possibley (and hopefully) what Ill be doing 20 years from now.
YOu are only eating one actual food meal a day. That sounds like a miserable life plan.

What diseases exactly have we "created" that need to be cured?

Waiting...

Oh wow. And here it's always been about the toxins. Now we've got man made diseases. In for the discovery.

I agree. Willpower cannot halt a pantastrophe. Only good quality underwear can, and that's not even 100% guaranteed.

It all Depends. Womp Womp

The only negative is the horrible feedback I get from lots of people, who think I'm crazy for juicing. Why is there so much anti-juicing sentiment out there?

There's so much anti-juicing sentiment because drinking 3 meals a day is usually not sustainable. MFP is all about finding a reasonable plan that you can adhere to for life, and most folks can't adhere to such a strict regimen forever.

Lots of inexperienced people "lurk" in the forums, reading posts like this to learn more and make decisions about how to formulate their personal plan. If juicing works for you, great. The dissent comes from experienced users here who simply want newbies and lurkers to understand that there can be lots of negative effects from choosing to juice your food (unsustainability, lack of protein and fiber, calories too low, unreasonable expectations).

Hope this helps you understand that it's not necessarily "negativity," it's adding more pieces to the puzzle to make a complete picture, so folks can make informed decisions.

As for me, I prefer to eat my calories. Mostly because vegetable juice tastes gross to me and leaves me hangry, setting me up for binges.

I absolutely LOVE juicing! I drink 8 oz of mean green juice every day about 4. Gives me a ton of energy. I eat regular meals and snack too, but when I miss my juice, I feel it. Do what works for you!

I just turned 59 (male, medium frame) and play competitive tennis (4.0 level) three to five times a week, mostly singles. I'm 5'10 and started with myfitnesspal about a year ago, when I weighed 190. Through sensible eating I got down to 175-180. I recently watched "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" at the urging of my daughter, and decided to give it a try. I already owned a Breville juicer that had been gathering dust for years, so two weeks ago we started a ten day fast. I lost about ten pounds and now weigh 167 lbs and feel great. I still juice three times a day and have a sensible "normal" meal for dinner. I was happy at 177 and didn't do this to lose weight, but my tennis has benefited so much, and I feel so great I've set a new goal of 155, which is what I weighed from age 18 to about age 30.

You're going to get negative feedback here as well, i'm afraid. From all the posters that feel it's their job to "save the lurkers" -those poor lost souls that apparently don't possess the mental capacity to research the positives and negatives of following any sort of nutrition plan THEMSELVES before making a decision.

If it's working for you in your personal situation OP, good for you. If and when you decide it's not working for you and you want to change it up, add/delete a few things, have at it. I enjoyed that movie (watched it twice actually) and definitely see the benefits of adding juicing to any nutrition plan. Sure is better than the 100 calorie pack, low fat, sugar free, fat free and chemically processed frozen dinner HFCS/CAFO junk that's passing for food these days.
